Bit of help please :)

I'm not a networky person but I do know the basics etc

I have virgin and the modem is upstairs in my spare room, now I cannot get a wireless signal from it downstairs at all (very weak) so I ran an ethernet cable down the cavity to a cheap belkin router, and set it as an access point with IP 192.168.0.10.

The Virgin supercraphub is 192.168.0.1 and has DHCP enabled.

Now, when I connect the ethernet cable from the Belkin to the superhub the internet still works but everything becomes unresponsive, I have to click weblinks 2-3times for them to work and game latencies go from 20ish to spikes for 22000, soon as I unplug the cable it's perfect.

Any thoughts what could cause it?

cheers

Something else on the network with the same IP as the belkin? which side of the belkin is plugged in to the superhub, LAN or WAN?

Get a wireless booster

The cable goes from a LAN port on the superhub to the first LAN port on the Belkin (It says to use that isntead of WAN on the Belkin when in AP mode?)

That's correct, was just making sure you weren't plugging in to the WAN. What about my other question?

Nothing I can see, there isnt much to it tbh. just the pad, tv and laptop.

I may try setting everything static IP see if that does anything.

Put the Belkin on .254 or something right at the other end of the range.

Can't really think what else it would be without seeing it.

Have you turned DHCP and DNS off on the Belkin? Also set the Belkin IP to be outside the DHCP Pool of the Superhub or at least reserve it in the table.

Yeah I've done the above, very confused at this...
